"Liao Sangun, right?"

Qin Chuan carefully looked at this man with extraordinary skills from head to toe.

The other party turned his face sideways: "That's right, grandpa, I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, Zhen'anbao Liao Sangun is also." ”

"What kind of marksmanship did you use?"

"Grandpa made the Yang family's pear flower gun, but unfortunately your dog thief escaped that shot, otherwise you would have made your brain shell collapse into a rotten melon."

When Qin Chuan heard this, the wound on his face seemed to hurt even more.

This guy's marksmanship is really sharp, as fast as lightning and extremely accurate even when the gun is shaken out, so that he can't figure out the trajectory of the gun, and he almost gets a headshot.

This Liao three guns, the ability should be between Liu Youzhu and Li Dingliang Zhongbo.

"Yes, there are two hits."

Qin Chuan continued with a smile: "From now on, you brothers will follow me, or what I said just now, to keep a lot of your glory and wealth in the future." ”

"Hahahaha......"

Liao Sangun raised his head and laughed.

Qin Chuan didn't bother to listen to his loyalty, so he only turned around and walked away, coming to Zhao Wu, who was pale.

"How? Brother Zhao, it's okay, right? ”

Zhao Wu squeezed out a calm smile: "Jiuji Mountain's sword is really worthy of its reputation, Zhao's skills are not as good as others, and he is willing to bow down." ”

"Yo, do you know my name?"

"What Zhao did was an espionage business, and it was not difficult to inquire about your origins, when I heard that you were surrounded by hundreds of people and horses of Li Biaofeng and Tongtian Pillar, Zhao thought it was an exaggeration of rumors in the rivers and lakes, but now it seems that Zhao is sitting in a well and watching the sky."

"Hahaha, Brother Zhao has won the award, you and Liao Sangun's skills are not small, and they almost killed me."

"The defeated generals and those who are about to die should not be praised by the Great Steward of Qin."

"Brother Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

"Zhao eats the Du family's food and salary, and he can't backhand stab the Du family, otherwise Zhao will have a disturbed conscience, so please ask the Qin Steward to give me a good time, Zhao has killed a lot of Tartars in his life, and it is worth it."

Qin Chuan frowned, looked at him and didn't speak.

Zhao Wu seemed to be pulling the broken bone under his armpit, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he gasped several times in a row.

After a long time, Qin Chuan took out a long knife, picked up the ropes of Zhao Wu's hands behind his back, and said: "Brother Zhao, you and your brothers will first be wronged, go to my Mengjiazhuang to live for a while, and when I destroy the Du family, if you want to leave, Qin will never stop you."

Without waiting for Zhao Wu to answer, he put away his long knife and turned over on his horse.

Zhao Wu shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more.

Qin Chuan asked Liu Youzhu to lead twenty people, take a few wounded soldiers and the corpse of the Guan Emperor army who died in battle, and escort Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun and others back to Mengjiazhuang.

He led twenty-five horsemen, carrying Du Chenggui and the heads of the four courtyards, and continued to walk towards Jingyou Town.

It's time to find Du Yingguang's bad luck.

……

Jingyou Town is located at the confluence of the Lan River and the Fen River, on the west bank of the Lan River.

The town is not big, similar to Lou Fu, only two or three hundred households, but because it is located on the main traffic road, there are some merchants, so there are inns, wine shops, carriage and horse shops, blacksmith shops and grocery stores in the town.

These shops are all owned by the Du family.

Landlords and old fortunes like to build their houses in the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, Dujiazhuang and Mengjiazhuang are similar, but also built by the mountain, the side of the mountain is a steep mountain wall, there is a row of caves dug below, and there are symmetrical houses and large and small yards arranged outside, all the way to the outermost gate.

Dujiazhuang is not as dangerous as Mengjiazhuang, but the west and north are also mountain walls and deep ditches respectively, only the east and south courtyard walls will be threatened, the gate is built in the south direction, the gatehouse is about three zhang high, there are also two floors, and the house on the second floor also has a few arrow holes.

There are no slopes outside the gates, only moats, horse-reproaches, and flat avenues.

Two hundred steps along the avenue is the town next to the foot of the mountain, a straight street in the town, where the Du family's shops are concentrated.

At the foot of the hill on the west side of the town is a row of caves, to the east are sparsely scattered houses, and beyond that thousands of acres of fertile land washed by the Lan River and the Fen River.

Jingyou does not have the grange of the vassal king, and the situation of land being occupied is not as serious as Lou Fu, but most of the more than 5,000 acres of fertile land in the river fork are also owned by the Du family.

It is very similar to the situation in various parts of Shanxi and Jinxi, under the condition of continuous drought but unabated taxes, some of the poor peasants who wandered quietly went to become homeless and rogues, and some became tenants of the Du family, but it was finally a little better than Lou Fu, there were still sixty or seventy homesteaders left in the town, and there were also a few villages along the Fen River and the Lan River to the north, and there were many low and gentle slopes around it, and the pasture was sufficient, so there were also many sheep herders and horse herds who grazing for a living.

As a large family that has been lobbying in Jingyou, the Du family owns 7,000 mu of cultivated land, of which 5,000 mu is in Jingyou's river fork and 2,000 mu is in the Loufu Valley, 20 miles to the south, which were occupied by means of money lending, mortgage, coercion and inducement in the past few years.

In addition to the fields, the main industry of the Du family is also iron ore.

This area is rich in coal and iron, and the reserves of iron ore in Shanxi in the later generations are proved to be 4 billion tons, ranking fourth in the country, of which Lou Fu accounts for 600 million tons, and Lanxian County has reserves of 2 billion tons, and the iron ore reserves of the two places together account for more than 60% of the entire Shanxi.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, from Lanxian to Loufu, almost every household has one or two mines, the scale is large or small, and all the iron mines that can be mined in the open pit in the two places are occupied.

Moreover, most of these landlords do not pay the iron tax, and they only need to pay the magistrate and the officials of the iron factory to save a lot of money every year.

The Du family has a mine on the Hongli Mountain on the other side of the Lan River, which is not larger than the Meng's Black Mountain Mine, with only four or five hundred miners, but the output is much larger than that of the Black Mountain Mine.

The reason is that the ore layer of Hongli Mountain is very shallow, and there is no need to drill a deep well, and you only need to dig down about one zhang to find the ore layer for excavation.

If it weren't for the fact that Hongli Mountain was sandwiched between two major roads, which was too eye-catching, and the world had not been peaceful in recent years, Du Yingguang would have recruited more miners and vigorously smelted iron.

Now the chaos everywhere is also good for him, the main thing is that there are more fields.

There were many people who starved to death near Jingyou Town, and there were many people who ran out to become homeless people, and even more who sold their fields to him in exchange for a little bit of life food.

Whether they die of hunger or become outcasts, all their fields belong to him.

Because he is the local grain chief, and he has a close relationship with the county magistrate Guo, he has the final say in this place.

The only thing that didn't go well was Lou Fu's surname Qin.

Du Yingguang has long been careful to check the background of the surname Qin, the bandit leader in Jiuji Mountain in Hongdong under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

He also knew that the Meng family, which was once prominent, had been completely finished.

In addition to Meng Guiming, the clansmen of the Meng family are all dead, and completely, Meng Guiming has also become a puppet, and the walking dead are better than dead.

Of course, Du Yingguang doesn't want to be the second Meng Guiming.

But the one surnamed Qin is not easy to mess with.

I heard that the gang recruited 800 village warriors, practiced day and night, and the horse's hooves rumbled non-stop, and it didn't seem to be weaker than the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Moreover, the surname Qin is not only a wolf, but also a little fox, maybe it is also a hybrid born of a wolf and a fox, ruthless and deceitful, and can be used by any means to achieve the goal.

As soon as the Lou Fu War ended, Du Yingguang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly sent his nephew Du Chenggui and several border soldiers who had just come to serve to Lou Fu to go to Lou Fu, first talk about the tone of the surname Qin, see what he wants to do, and prepare as soon as possible.

After Du Chenggui and the others left, Du Yingguang sorted out the IOUs released over the years in the hall.

An iron box of IOUs, if not a thousand, there are eight hundred.

Including the surrounding villages, the entire Jingyou Town does not owe him money, and there is less than a slap in the face.

This iron box is the foundation of the Du family.

When he was checking the inventory one by one, the voice of the old steward suddenly sounded outside, saying that Lou was annoying Qin Chuan.

Du Yingguang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Du Chenggui and the others?

The old steward said that he didn't see Du Chenggui, nor did he see the border troops, only the one surnamed Qin took twenty-five horsemen.

When Du Yingguang heard this, his heart sank.

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Yingguang finally put away the IOU, walked out of the hall, and gathered people.

Anyway, you have to see the one surnamed Qin first.
